whitewalls

The keisodo cloth has been applied to all the walls and ceilings upstairs, as well as the ceilings of the kitchen and M's studio. The rest of the house will be done in the keisodo plaster, starting on Saturday. It's applied with a trowel and leaves rough swirls in the texture of the wall, and I want to know how to do it, so that I can reapply it in places that suffer from accidents, cats running at high speed into walls, or even daily use. So I've convinced the plasterer to let us "help" in places that won't be too noticable. You can't tell from the photo above, but the cloth also has a pattern that looks as if it's applied as plaster (but it comes at a much lower price). As I've written before, though, both the cloth and the plaster is supposed to prevent sick house syndrome, absorb humidity, and let walls breathe.
